London in the Roman World draws on the results of latest archaeological discoveries to describe London’s Roman origins. It presents a wealth of new information from one of the world’s richest and most intensively studied archaeological sites, and a host of original ideas concerning its economic and political history. This original study follows a narrative approach, setting archaeological data firmly within its historical context. London was perhaps converted from a fort built at the time of the Roman conquest, where the emperor Claudius arrived to celebrate his victory in AD 43, to become the commanding city from which Rome supported its military occupation of Britain. London grew to support Rome’s campaigning forces, and the book makes a close study of the political and economic consequences of London’s role as a supply base.
